This will ensure that you get the widest possible audience for your questions, and generally, the best possible answers as well. Also, please remember to bottom-post your replies, since it makes the conversation easier to read for people joining in the middle. > Again let me have one more question, I cannot encode the .wmv to .flv.

Basically, you're saying (IIRC) "I want the version of the port that was included with this release" instead of "I want the most recent version of this port." the release versions of the ports will only be updated for bug fixes, etc. Not new features. I'd suggest that you just use portsnap to update your local ports tree and go from there. If you've never used portsnap before, do the following portsnap fetch extract If you have already done the extract step above, then use this portsnap fetch update from now on. Every time you run this command, your ports tree is updated with the latest software. As long as you aren't on a really ancient release, software from the ports tree will ALMOST always compile and install fine. After your ports tree is updated, just cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg make deinstall <- to remove the older version make install clean <-to install the new version Now you should have the latest version and all it's capabilities. I don't know specifically if this will solve your wmv -> flv problem, but if not, you will be at a better place to ask questions. You would probably want to ask your questions about specific software at the developer's forums or mailing lists though, since this list is supposed to be mainly for questions about freebsd itself.
